Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to actually own my dream car.
It's a very cool feeling, driving the car you always wanted to own. |

86 Bronco XLT with 5.0. I wanted to order one after Basic. Reality struck and realized E1 pay wasn't going to cut it.

I already have more cars/projects than I need. I would still like a Corvette. Really like the new rear engine. Would really like it with twin turbos. I always wanted a grand national. I would also like a pro street S10.

I remember it from “the living daylights” and always wanted one. I remember looking in the back of British car magazines as a teen in the 90’s and seeing them listed for £50k. That wasn’t going to be on my list but it is now. Unbelievably good looking car that I will never own. The two I though were an E30 M3 and a Lancia Delta Integrale. Some day I may owe one or both of those but it’s going to have to wait. I know exactly what my next car will be, just have to move heaven and earth to make it happen. |

Still have both time and opportunity to obtain a Viper. Passed on one a couple years ago (Yellow RT/10), but no regrets about it. Currently own: 2018 CTS-V 2013 ZL1 1997 Trans Am Ws6 |

Owning is overrated, much better to be in the profession of building/repairing the type of vehicle you enjoy, get to drive and play with some pretty untouchable vehicles that the very rich can own, most of the antique vehicles get old after driving them awhile, better to just try them out for a while

A Smart car- I saw them in France in 2001 and single me fell in love- by the time they came to the US I had a husband and two kids. No Smart car for me.

ZR2 S10 Blazer. My brother and I had a few regular S10 Blazers, I always wanted the factory lifted model. I found a crisp, yellow one in WA a few years ago but couldn't figure out shipping and didn't want to fly out and drive it 2000 miles back. I wouldn't mind a regular 2 door S10 Blazer as a daily driver.
Ford Excursion, the King of SUVs. I don't want a diesel and the gas options are kinda bleh. My lottery car is going to be the nicest 5.4 Ex I can find, pull the engine and toss it and put a Godzilla engine in it. 35's and lockers, make it into a camping rig and explore the west. I'd feel bad about messing with a 7.3 diesel, no one will miss a 5.4. 2500 Suburban. I like my 1500 but the bigger engine and stronger drivetrain would be nice. Inline with the above engine swap this would need a SFA. Basic bitch long bed 6.2 F250. Pull the bed and put a box on the back, 35's and lockers, do the same stuff as the Ex. 2 door Tahoe. I've seen some really clean ones over the last year, would make a fun DD. 265 Toyos on stock wheels, exhaust and just drive it. |

Quoted: HAve a deep seated desire for a Lancia Stratos (or replica) and Lotus Evora is also on the list.

Quoted: Current fun car. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/14209/20230330_214807-2764581.jpg I'd like a 32 Roadster black with flames and a blower. View Quote Monica C7 is peak Corvette imo. 32 roadster is played out so bad that I disagree on that one. You think you want one, but it can’t even begin to carry your corvette’s jock. |

1992 Mustang GT 2 years out of high school. Been trucks ever since. Number of cars along the way I wouldn't mind but I would have limited use for here. Another "cheap" 4wd utility truck would be nice. In 1990 the year I left high school bought a new Nissan 1990 4wd truck and paid $9,999 for it cash. Accounting for inflation that's about $23k. Good luck on that now.

[b]Quoted:[/b Never had a Datsun Z of any style. View Quote My first car I bought as a senior in HS was a 1973 240Z. Fun car, but gutless. Not in the best shape but it got a lot of looks because you didn’t see many around West Central Wisconsin. Then one of my friends went and bought a mint, 1974 260 Z that was a California car. The sad part is after high school he just let it rot away in his yard. Japanese cars from the 70s were not vehicles you wanted to leave parked in the grass and left for years. Frame would rot away. My car really wasn’t worth anything so it was no big loss when mine finally died. |

If we are talking about attainable cars and not supermarket, there have been a few over the years. I really wanted a Civic Si hatchback and a 350z.

When I was a teenager in the late 1970s I wanted a Chevy II... 1967 would have been the first choice

I always wanted a late 60's early 70's Datsun/Nissan Patrol. Almost bought one in 1980 but couldn't justify it at the time.

I still have time to acquire a few on my list. Just depends on future income levels as to what/when.
Intercooled Grand National GMC cyclone/typhoon ZR1 Vette Viper (passed on a chance to buy one about 10 years ago, regret that one) BMW M3 (haven't decided what year) Not a car, but my next conquest is going to be trying to track down my grandfather's 1954 HD Panhead and see if I can purchase it. |
